This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment in central Royston offers a compact, move-in ready home with strong commuter links and clear investment potential. The 993-year lease and share of freehold provide long-term security; allocated off-street parking and a modest garden add practical appeal for everyday living.
The interior is bright with an open-plan living area, modern integrated kitchen and neutral finishes, making it straightforward to occupy or let immediately. At 427 sq ft the layout is efficiently arranged but naturally compact — ideal for a first-time buyer or a landlord targeting single professionals or couples.
Financially the property is attractive: chain-free sale, low annual service charge (£850), and an estimated rental income of £1,125 pcm (approx. 7.1% yield) if let at that level. The location is a major strength — short walk to Royston station, town centre amenities, local schools and open green space.
Notable considerations: the overall size is small and rooms are compact, so storage and entertaining space are limited. Being a ground-floor flat brings convenience but slightly reduced privacy compared with upper floors. The property appears well-presented but offers modest scope for significant enlargement without structural work.
